The pink salami

After i am in norway for two months, i discovered last week that the First Price line of Bunnpris (is like Migors Budget ;) ) has also meatproducts. So i started up with a package of ham what was normal. Then i tried the salami. With the first look it seemed to be normal. But with the second one it seemed so pink. After i discovered the date of expiry (may 2007) i knew that there are more emulgators and other chemicals, like pink color, in there than meat. Anyway it tastes ok and it is "cheap"...;) Ä Guete

Vorspill

the vorspill starts between 18.00 and 20.00. friends meet at someones home. everybody takes his own drinks with. after 22.00 it starts to be fun. about 24.00 or when all the drinks are gone, the whole group moves to town.
this is the way of saving drinking money. because bier prices in town vary between 6 sFr for 4 dl and 12 sFr for 4 dl.
